This is the key thing here. When you mention lifestyle, some people will get defensive, go, what are you saying? I did this to myself. No, no, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that... Your health is a combination of a number of factors. Yes, your genetics, for sure, that plays a role, but also the way you're living your life.

And often you haven't been intentional about the way you're living your life, so you end up at some point with a set of symptoms. But it doesn't mean that the only solution for those symptoms is a pharmaceutical drug. It may be, it may be part of the solution, but a lot of the time you can actually reverse these problems if you change your lifestyle.

And for me, the simplest way I managed to help my patients with that is through the lens of these four pillars.

Yeah. So one of the things I've got to make really clear is that there's no one right diet for every single person.

I will make it simple. At the same time, Mel, I think when we believe there is one true diet that all of us should be eating, I don't think it simplifies it for us. I think it complicates it. And the reason it complicates it, and one of the biggest problems in health and wellness today, is the confusion that exists.

So when I talk about simplification, if you overly simplify, you end up confusing people. So I want to simplify as far as I possibly can, but then I also want to give the listener a bit of responsibility. Got it. the most important principle when it comes to food is as much as you possibly can have minimally processed foods as close to its natural form as possible.

I say, listen, let's think about one ingredient foods, okay? So foods that don't have a barcode because they naturally are one ingredient. So an avocado doesn't have an ingredient list. It's one ingredient, right? A piece of fruit doesn't have an ingredient list, right? And so for a lot of my patients for years, Mel, I've been asking them to look at food labels, okay?
